Decorate your walls with a unique timeline of the top 100 types from Printing Types spanning nearly 450 years.
The excerpts included in this poster are portions of the original facsimiles chosen based on Updike’s own words of praise. His descriptions were evaluated using semantic analysis and then ranked based on how favorably he described each one.
The top 100 figures were then selected and arranged chronologically with the earliest in the upper left and the most recent in the lower right. Above each one is a label with its style, the name of its creator or printer, country of origin, and the year it was printed. The design echoes broadside type specimens of the past, providing a unique visual timeline of Western typography across the centuries.
